Question:
I have a 99 Avion Savanna 5th wheelbuilt by Fleetwood with Dexter 6K axles. Brake assembly has a 5 bolt mounting pattern and 12x2 shoes. I cant find any of the numbers on the backing plate that I have seen here on the website. Will the 6k self adjusting brake assemblies replace the oem non-adjusting brake assemblies? BTW, youre video on how to make the initial adjustment on the self-adjusting brake assemblies doesnt seem to work. It starts and then stops.

Sorry about the problems you were having with our brake install/setup video. We have been having some issues with our servers here lately so that is probably why.
For a 6k, 12 inch brake assembly with a 5 lug install bolt pattern you would want the part # 23-458 for the left hand side and part # 23-459 for the right hand side.
